I haven't played D&D in decades by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #18 Fri Jan 11, 2008 at 11:27:36 AM EST

or close to it. I would have fun, but getting 4 hours a month to game is hard enough, I can't imagine 4 hours a week.

I still have my old AD&D books, they're not worth selling on ebay.

aren't they up to like the brazillionth edition? by lm (2.00 / 0) #21 Fri Jan 11, 2008 at 09:15:45 PM EST

I still remember what a shock it was adjusting to 2nd edition. Best part of D&D, for me anyway, was hanging out after the game standing around outside under the starts talking about this, that and the other thing.

There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.

I started playing when 2E came out, but from what I've seen of 1E books, it wasn't that big of a change, just a bit more organized. You can use 1E and 2E books together without too much effort.
The changes that 3E brought were far more profound, like using the d20 vs DC mechanic for virtually all task resolution, Armor Class improving by going up instead of down, all classes using the same XP table, and free(er) multiclassing, to name a few.
The changes that are happening with 4E are taking the game even further from what you are probably familiar with.
